Live updates:

5:44 pm: After an underwhelming season, Gujarat Titans have retained only one overseas player in Rashid Khan. The remaining four retentions are Shubman Gill, B Sai Sudharshan, Shahrukh Khan, and Rahul Tewatia.

5:43 pm: Five-time champions Mumbai Indians have retained the big four of Rohit Sharma, Hardik Pandya, Suryakumar Yadav, and Jasprit Bumrah alongside Tilak Varma. SunRisers Hyderabad, meanwhile, have retained their overseas core of Pat Cummins, Travis Head, Heinrich Klaasen along with the Indian duo of Abhishek Sharma and Nitish Kumar Reddy.

5:38 pm: As indicated by the reports earlier, Shreyas Iyer and Rishabh Pant have been released by DC and KKR, respectively. DC have retained Tristan Stubbs, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, and Abhishek Porel. KKR, the defending champions, have kept Rinku Singh, Varun Chakravarthy, Sunil Narine, Andre Russell, Harshit Rana, and Ramandeep Singh.

5:37 pm: MS Dhoni retained by the Chennai Super Kings for 4 crore as an uncapped player. The other retentions by the Super Kings are Ruturaj Gaikwad, Ravindra Jadeja, Shivam Dube, and Matheesha Pathirana.

5:20 pm: Teams to unveil their retention list at 5:30 pm as per latest update.

4:54 PM: Big questions for the franchises as the retentions' deadline near. MS Dhoni, meanwhile, has strongly hinted at wanting to continue playing in the IPL. It remains to be seen if CSK will retain him as an uncapped player.

With yet another IPL season on the horizon, the retentions' list ahead of the mega auction is set to be unveiled on October 31, Thursday. Delhi Capitals' keeper-batter Rishabh Pant is expected to be one of the biggest non-retentions ahead of the auction as the franchise expects to have Shreyas Iyer back as the captain. Despite the latter becoming the trophy-winning captain last year, the Kolkata Knight Riders are unlikely to stick with him.

KL Rahul is expected to be yet another player unlikely to be retained by the Lucknow Super Giants after a fallout with the owner following the match against the SunRisers Hyderabad. The likes of MS Dhoni (Chennai Super Kings), Rohit Sharma (Mumbai Indians) and Virat Kohli (Royal Challengers Bengaluru) are likely to be retained by their respective franchises.
